2013 Top Advisor Rankings: Georgia

Ranked #1: Rod Westmoreland ♦ You might call Westmoreland, 60, the jet-setter advisor. His 70 client families span 42 states, and he and his team visit each client face-to-face quarterly. Why such a geographic mélange? Most of his clients come as referrals from advisors who know Westmoreland's expertise with the ultra-affluent; his clients have an average net worth of $50 million.
Other advisors often call on him when they suddenly land huge accounts: "We'd come in to help that advisor close that business, and we'd form a joint venture." His role is strategic thinking. Right now, he likes global stocks and private equity. --ELIZABETH ODY
